The posting

8x8 connects our customers and teams globally, empowering CX leaders with performance and insights to make smarter decisions, delight customers, and drive lasting business impact.

What You'll Do

  • Production Operations & Incident Response
  • Own platform reliability across global UC infrastructure, driving incident response and the overall reliability strategy for your subsystem rather than resolving issues in isolation.
  • Triage and resolve the hardest issues — service restarts, hung processes, infrastructure failures — and act as the senior escalation point for the NOC and for other engineers when frontline teams hit their limit.
  • Execute and improve the unglamorous but essential work: scheduled maintenance, certificate renewals, log rotation — and redesign these processes so failure is prevented systemically, not handled case by case.
  • Lead blameless post-mortems that produce real follow-through, and sign off on the corrective actions that come out of them.

Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Work directly with Support, Sales, Sales Engineering, NOC, Professional Services, and Engineering teams across 8x8 — this team sits at the operational center of the company.
  • Translate production events into clear, business-readable communication under pressure; stakeholders across the org depend on your judgment during incidents.
  • Feed operational insight back into engineering — turning recurring failures and patterns into actionable bug reports, platform improvements, and influence over the architectural roadmap.
  • Work closely with technical leads to align reliability and automation work with broader engineering goals, and help focus discussion on what matters most.
  • Reliability Engineering & Automation
  • Identify recurring manual work and build automation to eliminate it — we treat toil as a bug, not a requirement.
  • Drive design for the tooling and automation in your domain; anticipate how a change in one component impacts others and account for adjacent domains in your designs.
  • Understand the limits of our existing tools — and recognize when a problem exceeds those limits and deserves the effort of building a new one.
  • Take on large-scale technical debt and refactoring across the subsystem, and contribute to the team's coding methodologies and best practices.
  • Participate in 2-week sprint cycles to deliver automation, tooling improvements, runbook development, and infrastructure initiatives from a structured backlog. Own the functional specifications for large features and sign off on test plans.
  • Address security issues as they arise — CVEs, misconfigurations, access control gaps — treated as first-class work alongside incident response.
  • Define and track SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs to drive honest, data-driven conversations about where reliability investment is needed.
  • Build and maintain dashboards (Grafana, OCI Log Analytics) that give the team genuine signal; tune alerting to eliminate noise — a high-noise on-call is itself a reliability failure.
  • Leverage AI-powered tooling to accelerate diagnostics and reduce cognitive load at scale.
  • Technical Leadership & Mentorship
  • Provide technical leadership for projects involving 1–2 other engineers.
  • Consistently mentor more junior engineers; be the person other developers seek out for constructive, insightful feedback.
  • Frequently and actively share knowledge — of your own work, of areas you've worked in, and of obscure corners outside your immediate context — and encourage others to do the same.
  • Run workshops, contribute to how-to guides, present at demos, and contribute to the team's presentation portfolio.

On-Call & Coverage

  • Shared on-call rotation, approximately 1 week per month — same expectation for every engineer on the team.
  • Escalation is always an option and is encouraged; you are expected to drive the response, set the pace for others, and know when to pull people in — not to hero it alone.

Tooling: PagerDuty for alerting, Jira for tracking, OCI Log Analytics and Grafana for diagnostics.

What We're Looking For

Required

  • 6+ years in a site reliability, platform operations, or infrastructure engineering role — you have run production systems at scale and have a track record of driving, not just maintaining.
  • Mastery of Linux systems administration: multi-service distributed systems, log reading, systemctl, network diagnostics, no GUI required.
  • Deep hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (OCI, AWS, GCP, or Azure) — compute, storage, IAM, networking fundamentals.
  • Strong on-call experience: calm under pressure, fast triage, clear communication during an incident, and the judgment to lead a multi-party response.
  • Scripting in Python or Bash — enough to automate a task, parse logs, hit an API, and refactor someone else's tooling without breaking it.
  • Strong incident response discipline: structured thinking, stakeholder communication, post-mortems that actually say something and drive follow-through.
  • Solid command of SRE concepts: SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, toil measurement — and the ability to use them to steer investment decisions.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership: driving designs, owning large features end to end, and mentoring other engineers.
  • AI-forward mindset — you use AI tools as a core part of how you work, not as a novelty.

Preferred

  • Experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) — compute, networking, Log Analytics, Object Storage.
  • Familiarity with VoIP and SIP infrastructure — registration, trunking, call signaling; this is a UC platform and that knowledge matters.
  • Knowledge of observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, PagerDuty, OCI Log Analytics.
  • Experience with Ansible for configuration management and deployment automation.
  • Exposure to infrastructure migrations at scale in multi-tenant SaaS environments.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
